They won the award at the World Golf awards.
A golf links course in Mayo has received international recognition as it was named the best in Ireland.
Carne Golf Links has been named Ireland’s Best Golf Course 2026 at the World Golf Awards in Cairo, Egypt.
In a statement on social media, the Gold club said: "We are incredibly proud to announce that Carne Golf Links has been named Ireland’s Best Golf Course 2026 at the World Golf Awards. What makes this recognition particularly special is that it is decided by the votes of the general public and golf industry professionals.
"This recognition is a testament to the dedication of our wonderful team and the incredible support we continue to receive from golfers, friends and supporters both at home and around the world.
"A special word of thanks also to Joe Shannon of North & West Coast Links, who kindly collected the award on our behalf at the ceremony.
"From our little corner of the Wild Atlantic Way, we’ve made quite a name for ourselves!"
Carne Golf Links lies on the remote and rugged Mullet Peninsula, along the Wild Atlantic Way.
The course features 18 amazing holes designed by the late Eddie Hackett, and true to his philosophy for respecting the natural landscape, the tees and greens occurred naturally and very little earth moving was involved in the course construction.
